mental health and
psychological support system
for students in higher
education
• Rising cases of stress,
anxiety, and depression
among students.
• Lack of early detection
and continuous
emotional monitoring
systems.
• Social stigma and fear
of judgment prevent

campus.
💡 Proposed Solution

web platform for
psychological wellbeing
